Our potty is possessed. Our lovely little pink princess throne potty that plays music when tinkled in is possessed. It is reminiscent of a train puzzle the boys had when they were little that was supposed to make classic train noises when completed. Instead, it made the noises when you turned off the lights. Really, EVERY night when you closed shop and turned off the lights before bed…choooooooo choooooooooooo!
The potty has been in various rooms (other than the bathroom of course) since we returned from our summer vacation and I realized that I had only 39 days before pre-school starts and our youngest was still in a pull-up. Judge me if you will, but when you are on the third kid there is NEVER a “good” time to start potty training, so naturally I put it off until I absolutely had to. This is my 8th straight year of changing diapers and as someone who never changed a diaper before having my own children, I am READY to end the madness and stop filling up the earth with Huggies and Pampers that will not disintegrate for 7 years (or is that the gum in my 6 year olds stomach?!?).
Back to the potty in need of an exorcism. Today, the potty started making its super cute (and not at all annoying) daa da da daaaaaaa whenever it felt like it. Seriously, it was taunting us over and over as if to mock our potty success (or lack thereof). And it IS mocking us because our darling daughter would prefer to pee ANY where BUT the potty most times. In one morning, she managed to pee in her undies, on the carpet in the living room and aaaaaallll along the hallway from the front door to the kitchen and then ran back through it, slipping and sliding the whole way. A pee Slip ‘n Slide if you will…good times. Now I would be remiss if I didn’t also share that later that morning she managed to go 4 TIMES in the potty in 1 HOUR…daa da da daaaaaaaaa! I don’t know where it all came from; girl must be hitting the apple juice hard (mmmmmmm Appletini). I will spare you the details of our progress in the OTHER area but let’s just say we are running at about 50% on #2’s. I wonder how long it takes for Cinderella undies to disintegrate in those landfills?!?
Hi Caryn - We also had that same train puzzle and a dinosaur one that had to go to the attic because it was "too scary." Right now some ghost plays with the Fisher Price baby toy all night long unless I turn it off every night. I like the pee Slip 'n Slide!

Cinderella undies turn into a pumpkin, or another squash of your choice, every night at midnight. Oh, midnight is the perfect time for a chocolate martini in a glass slipper.
